"First, you mustn't 't cure anyone other than your sister for five days."

' As expected, she knew that my sister was sick.'

"Also, you mustn't tell anyone how it was cured, for five days from now go to father and tell him you found a cure."

"Of course, you mustn't tell him that it was me you leaned it from."

"Your telling me to conceal the fact you found the curse."

"Yes, take it to your grave."

"And third, Persuade father to send me to the Valentine family as their successor."

"Pardon? You mean the Valentine Family?"

Oliver was horrified at the idea of sending Aria to the Valentine Family.

'They are considered the most powerful and richest clan of all families, 8 years ago, but now the duchy became wicked and people now regard that family as a villain.'

'There is rumors that they sacrificed a human to experiment, and said that the family has a curse. I don't know all the details of that family, but that's only I know.'

Oliver realized that the Valentine Family was indeed a shady and dangerous group.

"But Why do you want to leave the Agnes Duchy?"

Oliver continued to question Aria, trying to understand why she was so willing to leave such a cozy place.

"You will have to be in Agnes to get a good marriage."

It seemed a little odd to Oliver that Aria understood the concept of marriage at such a young age, but then again, she had also shown her understanding of magic and other complex ideas.

"And even if Duke has no child from duchess, his cousin has three children. Do you think they'll leave you alone?"

"It'll be walking on your own limbs."

Even though she hadn't explained what

"Walking on your own limbs" meant, Aria understood perfectly what Oliver meant.

"That makes sense."

"This is my doom already," Aria says realizing that she had no say in what her future would look like.

""But that's none of your business," Aria said with a soft, yet emotionless tone.

She was trying to indicate to Oliver that he shouldn't interfere in her affairs.

Oliver was silent, feeling the nuance that Aria was far more intelligent than he had initially thought.

"I will sign the contract, Princess," Oliver finally said, gathering mana in the air as he prepared to make a contract with Aria.

Whoo-.

Light was converted into letters. Aria and Oliver checked the content and joined hands.

Fwaa!

A more intense white light came from the letters. It was the sight of a contract being made. The letters changed into rings and fell in his palm.

Seeing Oliver wear the ring on his index finger, Aria gave him the cure.

"A wizard absorbs the back flowing mana from the patient's body and makes it in a temporary vacuum state. Just follow the correct path and inject mana into the empty body."

Ah...!"

It would be impossible for a poor wizard, but Oliver could do it.

'After all you're the one who discovered the cure in the first place.'
